is this not the same guy that people were bantering back on forth on whether he was a better draft pick than ricky romero when made by our former gm j.p.?
believe it was michael. and we just extended young southpaw ricky r. for what $30m or so?
man i tell you, based on contract amount relative to talent we either seriously picked up the wrong guy or we just got the best contract deal for comparative talent in the history of mlb when comparing the 2 based on the bucks.
me’s thinking it’s the latter not the former.

And how many times do we have to hear your opinions about ARod being a better Yankee SS over Jeter from some range factor numbers you got off the internet? We get it! Please move on and talk about something else. When is enough enough? Contact the Yankees or something if you feel so strongly about it. We've been listening to this crap since 2004! MW: I didn't bring it up, just answered the question I was asked. And please watch your language.

Question for you? How do you put up with going on the new morning show? It is brutal !! I can't stand how the new host talks over you or makes snide comments, that are not even close to being funny. The whole interview comes off as being uncomfortable and it's the same each time you or any other insider is on. I can't even listen to the morning show anymore, I just saw that you were on so I listened to your portion of the podcast Hi Mike, i’m a huge fan and I love listening to your commentary and reading your blog.

It's obvious you must of had a run in with him or he never has enough time for an interview with you. I've never heard you interview him before...& everyone you slag or hate or unfairly criticized you have had run ins with or has no time for you. It's this kind of being bias against a player just makes bad sportscasting when you are suppose to be the baseball guy who sees things objective on The Fan. At least, if you are subjective or being bias against, admit it like Bob McCowan does. More evidence is that you mention how terrible Jeter is at defensively playing Shotstop...Well, he's just won another Gold Glove this past year, his 5th in his career..How can a player who has won 5 Gold Gloves be terrible??...He just can't & being bias against with out admitting it for what ever personal reason you have is just not being a good professional baseball sportscaster. It doesn't matter what his range is, at 38 years old & to play the position like he has at that age this past year is amazing. You just sound ridiculous saying "Jeter is just a terrible shortstop who has won a Gold Glove" on the Jeff Blair Show...An oxymoron to say the least. It's things like this & strong false statements that will never make you in the same class as previous Jays talk hosts.
